Nothing feeds the center so much as creative work, even humble kinds like cooking and sewing...Baking bread, weaving cloth, putting up preserves, teaching and singing to children...

Procrastination Doesn't Pay

See the cute dog on the base of the lovely birdbath..........

It is a dog just like this one.........

(Peggy the above photo is just for you, since I can't send you snow I dug out a "snowy photo" from earlier this year.)

My sons thought it would make a great birthday gift, son #2 dropped it off and set it up on the porch. Well here's where the procrastination comes into play, it rained earlier today and filled the basin with water, then this "cute" dog.............

..............decided that he wanted to drink from it, that is when I said "gee I really need to move that", but I didn't do it immediately! Later in the afternoon while having a "fun" time doing paperwork with the windows open enjoying the beautiful spring afternoon I heard the sound of breaking pottery. Low and behold I am now regretting not taking a moment to move the bath out of reach!

I didn't take any photos before I glued the many broken pieces but here is what it looks like now.........

Oh no! Glad you were able to put it back together! Our cat used to break outs all the time! I can't remember how many I went through before I bought one that was just one piece. It seems to stay up OK.
